San Francisco Community Colocation Project is a non-profit that provides a community-based, low-cost colocation facility with optional support and services. We lease full and half rack blocks and pass the costs directly to our members, who pay for single unit spaces at full rack rates. The colocation facility provides UPS protected power as well as network access controls. SFCCP policies protect members' privacy rights. SFCCP supports world-wide non-profit and community-oriented enterprises.

Q: How much does colocation at SFCCP cost?

A: It depends on your power usage and the bandwidth you use. The easiest way to get a price quote is to ask for one :)

Q: Do you limit how much bandwidth any machine can use?

A: Like other community colos, we use bandwidth shaping to make sure we aren't hit with a huge bill because of a runaway server.

Q: Does my machine have to be rack mounted?

A: Yes. Let us know if you need mounting help. At the moment, we cannot allow regular desktop or tower cases.

Q: Can I have a box in SFCCP and do anything for profit?

A: Maybe. A non-profit organization hosted with us can engage in for-profit activities. Otherwise, you would have to make a compelling case why your for-profit operations should be hosted a non-profit colocation facility.

Community Colo's Network

SFCCP is one of many community colocation projects around the country and is part of a growing movement to provide affordable, untethered internet access to a wide variety of non-profit entities and individuals, social justice organizations, and Open Source projects. We are currently the only non-profit, community-based colo in California, as the original, California CCP, ceased operations in late January 2007.
